About
The Journal of Supply Chain Management (JSCM) will host its Paper Development Workshop (PDW) in Mumbai on July 6-7, 2026, at the S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR). The workshop offers a valuable platform for scholars at all levels to refine their research for publication in premier academic journals. JSCM PDW participants will engage directly with JSCM’s editorial leadership and receive direction towards strengthening theoretical contributions, enhancing methodological rigour, and developing the relevance of the research for high-quality manuscripts.
The workshop will feature two types of engagement:
Editorial sessions
Editorial sessions are dedicated to interactive debates on making a theoretical contribution, expanding disciplinary boundaries, research methods, and crafting manuscripts.
Feedback sessions
Feedback sessions provide personalised feedback to participants. Each participant will receive written feedback from one of the JSCM editors/editorial board. The participants will present their updated work to editors and reviewers during the workshop.
